The Georgia Superior Court Clerk’s office did everything in its power to thwart the very filing of a legal appeal in Weldon v Obama, the case in which Judge Michael Malihi ruled that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and therefore eligible for the Georgia ballot.
And the Superior Court itself has just dismissed plaintiff David Weldon’s appeal of that ruling.
The numerous questions surrounding Malihi’s February 3rd decision and the clear errors of law and procedure upon which it was based have been discussed by countless members of the new media.
And now Van Irion, head counsel for Liberty Legal Foundation (LLF) and the attorney who represented David Weldon in his lawsuit questioning Obama’s eligibilty before Judge Malihi, relates what has happened since the decision.
The story he tells of improper and illegal conduct on the part of the Superior Court arguably reveals a more blatant and callous disregard for the law and the rights of the American people than was displayed in the ruling itself.
Irion relates that:
Malihi’s Georgia Court refuses to forward LLF’s Motion for Contempt against Obama to the Georgia Superior Court despite state law providing the Court no such discretion. The Superior Court refused to respond to LLF’s letters on the matter, or demand the Malihi court forward the Motion. The Superior Court Clerk initially refused to file LLF’s Appeal of Malihi’s ruling, relenting only after 48 solid hours of legal and procedural “education” on the part of Irion. The Superior Court Clerk refused to file LLF’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction because a $1 filing fee had not been included. After HAND DELIVERY of $1, the Clerk then SAT ON the Motion for 10 days, finally claiming the $1 fee had been hand delivered to the “wrong staffer." The court...

from the postings here on FR, it seems fairly clear the lawyers botched the case.
regardless, where is the actual evidence of corruption. Interpriting law wrong is not corruption, it is an error in judgment. Is there actual tangible evidence of a bribe?
snip-
“Incredibly, neither Judge Malihi nor the Secretary of State sent the Weldon v Obama case record to the Superior Court for review until AFTER the Court had ruled in Obama’s favor! That means the Chief Judge agreed to Obama’s Motion to Dismiss an Appeal of a case the Judge NEVER READ!! This is the extent to which judicial corruption has replaced judicial review in the State of Georgia.”
These guys are horrible at reporting. They give no links or any way of looking this stuff up.
The lawyers didn’t botch the case, and many Freepers persist in spreading that lie.
“regardless, where is the actual evidence of corruption. Interpriting law wrong is not corruption, it is an error in judgment. Is there actual tangible evidence of a bribe?”
There was far more involved here than simple misinterpretation of the law. Read the articles listed along with this piece on the Coach is Right. They provide the entire history of the hearing and the ruling.
Also, how often to Courts issue a ruling without having read the case record upon which the ruling is based? The Superior Court literally could not have had time to read the Weldon v Obama case file prior to issuing its ruling to grant Obama’s Motion to Dismiss! The Secretary of State’s office had not sent the Weldon case record to the Court until the day the ruling on Obama’s Motion was made! You don’t need a video tape of a bribe to know something very wrong was going on.
It sure has been ‘quiet on the front lines’ about this, hasn’t it.
Surprised to see this on Barnhardt’s site!

I first posted on Obama’s birth certificate being a fraud a couple of hours after it was released.”
Where's the 19?! LOL
In all seriousness, Raven, here is what I posted yesterday on another thread.
We conservatives have some difficult choices to make. Signing this petition may be symbolic, but it has no actual affect and everyone knows it. This might as well be Dennis Kucinich and his monthly bill to impeach George Bush.
Here is where things stand:
1) Currently, it appears as though Romney will garner enough delegates tomorrow to capture the nomination. If that actually happens, a lot of us will stay home November because we just can’t bring ourselves to vote for him.
2) The Rush kerfuffal has allowed the left to divert attention from other things and, IMO, it will give them a cause and a reason to go after conservatives, conservatism and talk radio in a way we have never seen before.
3) We know that the left is not concerned about the future of America, only about increasing or adding to their power. To that end, they have reduced education to propaganda, driven God out of the schools and are working on driving God out of America, and are now desperately trying to maintain their hold on our healthcare as well as turning sex into a public sport; starting with the likes of Ms. Fluke!
4) As we watch our country descend into a third world abyss from which it is unlikely we will ever return, is hoping for victory at the ballot box in November or signing pointless petitions REALLY the best we can do? In the late 1950s, Rosa Parks objected to the fact that black Americans were required to occupy the back of the bus and took action. In the 1960s, black Americans objected to being treated like second class citizens and took to the streets as well as becoming Freedom Riders; a cause that led to the death of many of them. Meanwhile, we conservatives sit around assuring ourselves that things will change in November. If Romney ends up as our candidate, we know how November is going to turn out - Obama will get his second term and America will breath its last gasp as a free nation.
So, I ask you - is this the best we can do? Are we so apathetic that we are unwilling or afraid to take the necessary action to regain control of our country?? At best, we can hope to divide America into two countries - one America for conservatives and one America for those whose sole goal in life is to suckle the teat of big government. At worst, we lose our country and our freedom and become Greece or Europe.
WE can choose what tomorrow looks like. But, if tomorrow is going to be bright and shiney, the time for choosing is growing very short. What’s it going to be - fish, or cut bait?
We need to make a list of judges that need to be impeached and start cleaning house. Mark Hatfield is in a good position to begin that process...
Does anybody have any doubts that the courts as well as the media are thoroughly corrupted? We know that the media was corrupted by threats from George Soros. Any bets as to what has corrupted all our courts?
That would make a GREAT billboard!!
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and teh pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rghts, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...”
That’s a good start. We need to finish it for our day.
Yup. Freepers don’t get the “Liberty, and Justice for all” part. And they don’t realize that the most effective way to get Obama out of office is simply to prove the frauds he has committed. Then conservatives won’t even be faced with voting for Robama.
So, I ask you - is this the best we can do? Are we so apathetic that we are unwilling or afraid to take the necessary action to regain control of our country??
This is an extract of an outherwise excellent summary of the current state of our once great country. The question is not “is this the best we can do”. Rather, I consider that we are “getting what we deserve”, which is even more tragic.
was it dismissed as a matter of law?
The case transcripts would go to the review post dismissal as a matter of law. Even then, the issue is the standard of review to apply. Abuse of discretion is the weakest standard to use on appeal.
Does anyone have an actual copy of the motion to dismiss?
See reply 8.
